How to convert a class to another class type in C++?
In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand how to convert a class to another class type in C/C++.
Class conversion can be done with the help of operator overloading. This allows data of one class type to be assigned to the object of another class type.
Example
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
//type to which it will be converted
class Class_type_one {
string a = "TutorialsPoint";
public:
string get_string(){
return (a);
}
void display(){
cout << a << endl;
}
};
//class to be converted
class Class_type_two {
string b;
public:
void operator=(Class_type_one a){
b = a.get_string();
}
void display(){
cout << b << endl;
}
};
int main(){
//type one
Class_type_one a;
//type two
Class_type_two b;
//type conversion
b = a;
a.display();
b.display();
return 0;
}Output
